CauseThe state media did not explain the source of the unrest, though local residents said many protesters were angered by the government's decision to transfer its offices to a wealthier city.[1] Residents in Longnan said the disturbances there were fueled by economic distress, unchecked corruption and a lack of transparency by the local Communist Party.[1] RiotA crowd of about 1,000 - 2,000 people attacked a government office in northwest Gansu province, smashing cars and beating up police and officials.[2][3] The crowd eventually grew to 10,000 according to some sources.[3] Armed police officers from the provincial capital used tear gas to subdue the rioters.[3] AftermathDamages are estimated at more than five million yuan (US$731,000).[4] References1. ^1 International Herald Tribune.
